"CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVESMany European issues are constantly appearing on the title page of newspapers and are part of current affairs. Faced with all these challenges, it goes without saying that young people have many questions. Our project wanted to provide at least some information and answers to our students.We wanted to address some of the key issues of the European project that affect all citizens. It was not only a matter of giving only elected representatives and institutions a forum, but also ordinary citizens (and also our students, in particular, by taking part in numerous debates) in the most open manner possible. So we wanted to:- further anchor Europe and a civic approach based on exchanging information and debates in our projects and practical activities- opening up the school even more to the outside world through partnership with non-school organizations and out-of-school activities- promote the use of French as a language of communication, implementing IT and free educational resources (OER).- (re-)motivate students, especially those with academic difficulties, by proposing stimulating and different activitiesNUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTSApproximately 40 students per school, of which 16-17 participated in mobility. The total number of students was about 230 for the 6 schools. We strove to involve students with heterogeneous and complementary profiles. We paid special attention to the 45 students with fewer opportunities (7-8 per school). Between 11 and 12 teachers per school, about 70 in total participate in the project.In addition to these 300 or so participants, there were between 200 and 400 pupils and teachers ""indirect beneficiaries"" participating in certain activities.Other school actors were needed to carry out our projects (managers, accountants) and external partners (European information centers, elected officials).DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIESAll activities involved students (except those related to coordination / management) and were normally documented by films. All results were in French or bilingual. The list below is not exhaustive:- training activities involving joint meetings: C1 Bulgaria: video / film workshop; C2 Spain: debates on EU representations and objectives; C3 Luxembourg: quizzes and visits by EU institutions and discussion with MEPs; C4 Italy: preparation workshop for a Europe Day; C5 France: Simulation of a session of the European Parliament; C6 Belgium: simulation of a televised debate and visit of the EU parliament in Brussels- local activities between the joint meetings which serve to prepare or implement common training activities: debates; Workshop on the EU; Interviews with political representatives; Surveys in streets, families, retirement homes and schools and formatting of results; Films documenting activities; European Day- dissemination: Erasmus + space in each school, articles for school websites and the press, website documenting our project, Etwinning, Youtube films, project logo, European Day in each school on 9 May 2019- internal evaluation with an evaluation grid with components for all participants- external partnerships: elected representatives, European information centersMETHODOLOGYThe local coordinators, assisted by a team, coordinated the project at their school level and the Luxembourg coordinator coordinated at the school and transnational level. Two meetings were planned at the beginning and end of the project and six training activities were organized by the schools (one per school). An evaluation grid was used to evaluate the progress of the project and to respond to potential problems throughout the two years. Students were at the heart of the project and actively involved. All participants were ""multipliers"" in order to be able to transmit the skills acquired.IMPACTS AND RESULTSThe main impact expected was civic: Our students could develop their critical thinking in order to become ""savvy"" citizens. They could realize their knowledge and their commitment by organizing well-argued debates and a European Day in May 2019. Our schools and teachers could open up more to the outside world: invitations from elected representatives, partnerships (partner schools, centers of information).LONG-TERM BENEFITSThe activities and results are sufficiently multifaceted (debates, simulations of parliamentary sessions ...) to benefit many other pupils and teachers. Partnerships between European schools and information centers as well as political representatives can easily be sustained by similar projects. Partnerships between schools can be continued through projects, activities and occasional mobilities. Europe Day can be easily sustained once it has been set up for the first time."

"CONTEXT:Our identity is our diversity: The current context marked by numerous crises in Europe (Brexit, refugees ...) makes us wish to work about the question of identity. Indeed, these issues raise questions about the European project and one of its foundations: a common European identity. We want to bring at least some answers to our students even if an exhaustive study on European identity is impossible. Above all, we would like our students to grasp the idea that a European identity really exists, even if it is pluralistic one. Local and national identities center around a common European identity. That's why we plan to use at least occasionally our regional or national languages, as well as English, in addition to the main language of the project, which is French.AIMS:The main goal also corresponds to the main mission of the school: Creating good learning conditions for our students to enable them to become informed citizens. The project work helps to combat school failure by offering educational activities that can motivate again those students who were not successful in the past. The main goal consists in developing social, civic, linguistic, technological, digital and intercultural skills as well as the creativity of the students.NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS:The entire school community (students, teachers, parents, management and administration) and external partners (European information centers, local and European elected representatives ...) will be involved in our project.The STUDENTS are between 14 and 18 years old and are at the heart of the project. We want to create the necessary conditions for the students to really get involved into the project and become the real actors.At least 16 pupils per school will participate by the mobilities in the 6 common learning activities, at least 96 students for the six schools. The number of students participating in the local activities will vary. Depending on the local activities, there will be between 50 and 100 students per school that can be added.DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES:All activities are documented by video. All results will be in French or bilingual (with English or local / national language). The list below is not exhaustive:- training activities involving joint meetings: C1 Luxembourg: debates on pluralistic identity; C2 Portugal: representation by each partner of a short play on identity and reflection on the outline of a scenario for a common theatre play; C3 Cyprus: writing a more detailed and specific scenario for the common play on identity; C4 France: realization of the choreographic elements of the common play; C5 Spain-Canary Islands: production of the soundtrack of the common play; C6 Spain-Valencia: representation of the common play.- local activities (P1,2 ...) between the joint meetings have the aim to prepare or implement joint training activities: preparation of the short play by each country as well as the preparation of the common play; preparations for debates; interviews with political representatives; school surveys; videos documenting the activities etc.- publishing of the information and the results: Erasmus + area in each school, articles for school websites and the press, Etwinning and Twinspace, project logo etc.METHODOLOGY:The local coordinators, assisted by a team, coordinate the project at their schools, whereas the Luxembourg coordinator is responsible for the coordination at his own school and internationally. An evaluation grid makes it possible to evaluate the progress of the project and to react to possible problems throughout the two years. Students are at the heart of the project and are actively involved. All participants are supposed to be ""multipliers"" in order to be able to share the acquired skills with others.IMPACTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS:The main impacts will be on a civic, social and educational level: our students will be able to reflect and debate about plural identity and become ""informed"" citizens. The practical activities allow them to create and realize a common theatre play. All students, especially those with academic difficulties, can find in this project a meaningful source of motivation. Our schools and teachers can establish contacts with external partners: invitations of elected officials, partnerships (partner schools, information centers).LONG TERM BENEFITS: The activities and results are sufficiently wide-ranging and manifold (plays, debates ...) so that many students and teachers can benefit from them. Partnerships between schools and European information centres as well as political representatives can be easily perpetuated by similar projects. The partnerships between schools can be continued with further projects, activities and specific mobilities."

"The idea of sustainability is a wide approach everybody is talking about in a time when environmental problems induced by various human interaction in the earth's ecosystem are requiring serious solutions. By now, sustainability has been embedded as an explicit key objective in some school's philosophies. Not only as a result of the current social discussions (e.g. Fridays for Future), which have been initiated in particular by our core clientele, pupils, are we aware of our overall educational task to teach pupils to become individuals who think and act sustainably, so that, in accordance with the Brundtland definition (""Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.""), future generations will still be able to satisfy their needs. The term sustainability is associated with numerous multidimensional and global challenges, such as climate change, extinction of species, waste and plastic reduction, migration and human rights. These are challenges on which politics, economy, science and society must work together in global cooperation in order to find sustainable solutions. Concerning this topic, the United Nations has defined a total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in its Agenda 2030, which are intended to ensure sustainable development in a global context. Since the SDGs cannot be achieved within a national framework, international and transnational cooperation is necessary.In this context, our project SHARKS (""Sustainability Heroes And Restless Knights in Schools"") brings together pupils and teachers from six countries all around Europe, namely Luxembourg, Poland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the Northern Republic of Macedonia. Part of our project idea is that every partner has own strengths, experiences and possible solutions regarding the different SDGs.By dealing with the various SDGs, the pupils are to be informed about the current sustainability problems and consequently be strengthened in their ability to act, so that the pupils can make scientifically sound, morally and ethically balanced, consensual and self-responsible actions for their current and future way of life. The ultimate goal here is to enable students to satisfy their own basic needs without compromising the opportunities of future generations. In addition, we want to achieve the following objectives:- Promote the exchange of good practices of sustainable actions in schools using etwinning.- Disseminate the results of the project through different platforms (Twinspace) and make the impact of the actions carried out sustainable over time.- Promote the development of our school's internationalization and raise awareness regarding the importance of sustainable development in our educational institutions.- Pupils learn to adopt different perspectives, to develop empathy for different views and opinions and thereby to reach consensus, democratic decisions and results. - Since the sustainability problem is a global challenge, only transnational efforts are considered promising. The pupils are made aware of and prepared for this by the approach we have chosen.The expected results of the project are many and vary from a methodological point of view and are particularly oriented towards the possibilities of the modern media since they also play a crucial role in the global discussion about sustainability. Examples are the creation of YouTube videos, logos, e-guides, animations, comics, or posters. By participating in this project, students will:- be better prepared to build a more sustainable future regarding ecology, economy, society and politics- improve their motivation, self-confidence and academic performance and class behaviour - increase their social skills through transnational cultural teamwork requiring tolerance, cooperation, empathy for others and problem-solving skills - enhance ICT skills as they will use various ICT tools to produce outputs and plenty of collaborative tools to work with other students- increase language skills in real-life and multilingual contexts. By staying in host families and working with other foreign students - extend their knowledge of their partner countries’ cultural heritage and geographical diversity thus redefining their identity towards being independent, responsible, tolerant European citizens and becoming higher prepared for future jobsIt is important for us that in particular, the positive examples of the respective partners influence the school life of the fellow partners and, at best, can be adopted. These examples should also be used to achieve a multiplier effect on the environment of the respective partners, e.g. by encouraging parents, relatives, local politicians and local companies to engage in sustainable processes. These effects will be evaluated through surveys in the partner schools at the beginning and end of the project, which will naturally also be published."

The Ecosop project (economie et stage observatoire, economy and orienting internships for school pupils) is supposed, firstly, to create a network between schools and companies, and secondly, to incorporate the process of preparing pupils for Career Choice into the lesson plan in grade 7 to 10. The students are supposed to obtain reliable information about training opportunities in Europe by a conscious Career Choice and by getting to know certain training places. This in depth knowledge shall prevent students without detailed prior experiences from discontinuing their vocational training. Apart from reducing the number of dropouts from education and training, the project aims at diminishing the number of school dropouts, too, by making them understand and appreciate the value of a qualified school education.Apart from that, the students acquire by the combination of career choice elements and orienting internships abroad additional foreign language skills, moreover, by dealing with the companies and having insight into them, they shall be inspired to reflect if founding their own company could be an option for their later life.All in all, about 75 people take part in this project, half of them are school pupils.In addition to several transnational meetings, a curriculum for Career Choice at secondary schools will be developed. Moreover, recommendations for companies and pupils will be developed with the purpose to help the students get along during the orienting internships abroad. All these materials as well as the evaluation report will be presented to the broad, interested public in Paris, St. Vith and at the Schengenlyzeum in Perl; moreover, they will be made available in printed and in electronic form.Altogether 45 students aged 16 - 17 will participate in the orienting internship abroad which will last 17 days, including preparation and evaluation, conducted by the accompanying teachers. The students stay with host families and gain insight into the working life of their host country by working on a daily basis seven hours with the companies.Taking into account the multiplier effect of the participating students in their schools and their social environment, it can be expected that the topics of internships abroad, transnational job training crossing the borders and a solid foundation in language use will become part of their life realities in a sustainable manner.The aim is to ensure the systematical integration of Career Choice into the curricular development beyond the project in order to become an integral part of the work done by schools. Students, parents and teachers shall experience the added value of this project and practical job training in other countries, which creates without any doubt an added value on a European level, ought to be recognized as valuable and important educational innovation. Thus, the project expands the consciousness of the teachers and contributes to the additional professionalization of the staff.

"• Context and objectives: The act of eating is much more widespread than the satisfaction of a biological need: it is at the crossroads of the emotional, the cultural and the social. ""Plates and Sneakers"" is a European project designed to create tools to carry out educational work with adolescents on nutrition, physical activity, culture and citizenship. In and with the activities carried out we want: - Develop respect for oneself and autonomy. - Promote respect for others and solidarity - Raise awareness about respecting and protecting the environment - To know its history, its culture in a relation of intergenerational. - Become an informed and responsible European citizen - Promote sports activity as a balancing factor - Highlight French language and culture. • Number and profile of participants: About 50 pupils per school, about half of whom will participate in mobility, for the four schools, 200 pupils impacted by the project. We will involve students with a heterogeneous and complementary profile with special attention given to twenty young people with fewer opportunities (4 to 5 per school). About a dozen teachers per school will participate in the project. In addition to these 215 participants, there are between 200 and 400 other indirect beneficiaries who can participate in certain activities. Other partners related to the project (management, accounting agents) or external will be mobilized. • Description of activities With the exception of coordination and financial management, all activities involve and mobilize students. The results will be expressed in French (a brief summary may be in English). The activities selected are essentially: - Debates and conferences - Courses and contributions of knowledge - Quiz achievements - Company visits - Culinary workshops with taste and flavors - A theater activity - Achievements of European tables - Exhibition visits These elements will be complemented by evaluation sessions as well as by activities intended to promote the dissemination of the project: ERASMUS + area, website, Europe day. •Methodology The French coordinator MFR coordinates at the level of his school, and at the transnational level and the local coordinators coordinate at the level of their school. Working tools, meetings, evaluation grids make it possible to measure the progress of the project with students and teachers involved and mobilized. • Impacts and expected results The main expected impact is educational and cultural. Our students by becoming informed consumers benefit from a European cultural openness. Our schools, our teachers and our partners can open up more to other European cultures with all the activities proposed with the project. • Long-term benefits The activities carried out, the elements of dissemination put in place can benefit all the educational communities peripheral to the project. European culture is strengthened and partnerships between schools, between teachers can continue on other subjects. The ERASMUS + space, the Europe Day can also help to accentuate the long-term benefits."
